Wildlife Conservation Policies Questions
The role of ecotourism in wildlife conservation is to promote sustainable tourism practices that minimize negative impacts on natural habitats and wildlife, while also generating economic benefits for local communities. Ecotourism provides financial incentives for the conservation of wildlife and their habitats, as it relies on the preservation of these resources for its success. By engaging tourists in educational and responsible activities, such as wildlife viewing, guided tours, and nature walks, ecotourism raises awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and fosters a sense of appreciation and respect for the natural environment. Additionally, revenue generated from ecotourism can be used to fund conservation initiatives, support local communities, and provide alternative livelihoods that reduce pressures on wildlife and their habitats.
